About "fond! journal"

Hello. Thank you for coming to this page. My name is Mitsuko and I live in Japan. I write about the things that I find fond of in my life.Through the experience of running a tea-room called "Rincane" in Ikoma, Nara, and in meeting with people through the shop's various art projects, I have become a lover of finding the pure essence laid there: hearts and spirits. This is how I decided to keep notes on my "fond*" objects and create the records in a form of journal.

-Since March 2013, After Closure of "Rincane"-
